GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 7900 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 7900 XT, which uses a 5 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1500 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 2500 MHz on this particular card. It features 5376 SPUs along with 336 TAUs and 192 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 360448 (79%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 7900 XT should be quite a bit (about 96%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 7900 XT		504000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 247200 (96%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 7900 XT will be much (more or less 180%) better at AA than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 7900 XT		288000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 185280 (180%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
